Inquisition - Character Name Generator
/
The Imperial Inquisition is one of the most iconic aspects of Warhammer 40K, and its inquisitors are among the most distinctive characters in the setting. Still, when researching this character name generator I was amazed by just how many inquisitors have been named in the lore, as well as by the sheer variety of names they have - everything from the relatively normal Victoria Aldrich to the more unusual Bastapol Harg. Let’s not even get into the whole Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau thing.
Every single one of these names has been fed into this generator in one form or another, along with a range of other suitable material co-opted from other corners of the 40K universe and the real world. The amount of content behind this generator is vast, which makes its output all the more unpredictable. The results can be ‘interesting’ to say the least and, while the esoteric weirdness occasionally threatens to overwhelm the cohesion of the generated name, the generator seems to spit out names that could have come straight out of a Black Library novel with similar frequency - there’s gold in them thar hills.
Of course, because inquisitors and the names they bear can be drawn from backgrounds, organisations and cultures as varied as the Imperium itself, this generator is a great resource for naming all of the priests, assassins, acolytes and other characters that make up your inquisitor’s retinue too - or even just regular imperial citizens. Go nuts!
This name generator is perfect for narrative play in the 41st millennium, whether you're naming your heroes in Warhammer 40,000 or each and every squad member in Kill Team. I hope you like it!
If you use the generator and enjoy it, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment below - let me know what names you’ve come up with! And as always, feel free to share it as you see fit.
